Tonight's Poet Corner: TNT XOXOXO
TNT XOXOXO
by Belinda Roddie
Everything can go wrong
in this room full of frayed wires,
where one shred of copper leads
to nowhere, and the scratched up walls
expose innards ready to detonate.
You are dynamite in my hands - all
I need is to light the fuse. You have
been broken, abused, yet you can
still do plenty of damage. I know
your teeth can find comfort in
the indentations of my skin, but
before you bite me, I'll press the
red button, cut the blue cord,
and trigger our mutual explosion.
